Crews from the County Line Rural Fire Department responded and seemed to have the fire under control for the most part by 3:00 p.m. Three or fourth operate spots of land were burned on the east side of the road, mainly consisting of underbrush and grass. The fire did come close to pine tree line. No known cause has been reported yet, but the region is suffering through extremely dry conditions at the moment.
